Design & build

First impressions: The Note 50 is a contemporary slab, with no bulky camera bump to its shape, which means it has flat sides, slim bezels, and a rectangular camera island that identifies the device in a recognizable manner. The frame is made out of aerospace-grade aluminum, and a matte / soft-touch backplate is used on certain color ways, making it easy to keep fingerprints to a minimum and making the phone feel high-end at its price point. 

Comfort and ergonomics The Note 50 at 6.78 inches (=199 g) weighs surprisingly light, considering its size. The tall screen also means that it cannot be easily used single-handedly by users with smaller hands; however, the size of the device can be tested out in a store in case you frequently use your phone with one hand. Its flat edge design makes it easier to hold, but perceived to be much wider.

Durability: Infinix also offers IP64 splash/dust protection, which is fine in the rain and in the kitchen but not in the water. A safety cover is recommended along the pools or beaches. The aluminum frame enhances the rigidity of the structure compared with polycarbonate, which is less expensive.

What stands out: the RGB notification light at the back (a whimsical, niche addition), the clean matte finishes in Titanium Grey, Ruby Red, Mountain Shade, and Shadow Black, and the lightness considering the size.

Display

The high point in this price range of the Note 50 is arguably its 6.78″ AMOLED panel. The AMOLED displays black depth and contrast, and the 144Hz refresh rate makes the user interface effects and games supported feel particularly smooth. Infinix also claims very high peak brightness under HDR/high ambient conditions, which enhances the viewability in the outdoors.

Why it matters:

• Contrast & colors: AMOLED produces richer colors and true blacks compared with most LCDs in the same price bracket.
• Smoothness: 144Hz is perceptible in scrolling and supported games; use it selectively to balance battery life.
• Peak brightness: a high advertised nits value helps sunlight visibility — important for outdoor use.

Cameras

Hardware recap: 50MP main sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization) + 2MP macro; 13MP front camera. OIS sets the Note 50 apart from many rivals in the midrange, where stabilization is often absent.

Real-world summary:

• Daylight: Expect sharp, contrasty images suitable for social sharing. The sensor resolves good detail, and colors are punchy. OIS helps preserve sharpness with small shakes.
• Low light: OIS + Night Mode improves handheld shots, but sensor size and ISP processing cannot match flagship-class low-light performance — use Night Mode and longer exposures when possible.
• Portraits: Decent results in favorable light with acceptable edge detection. Background blur is strong enough for social use.
• Video: OIS stabilizes handheld clips nicely. Expect 1080p recording across many modes; check region/firmware for exact max video resolution.

Practical camera tips:

• Toggle HDR in high-contrast scenes to retain sky and foreground detail.
• Use 50MP/Pro mode for shots you plan to crop or print.
• For shaky low-light video, enable any “OIS” or stabilization settings and keep framing stable.
• Don’t expect flagship night prowess — instead, treat Note 50 as a social media-ready shooter with good stabilization for its price.

Performance & chipset

SoC: MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate (6nm). This is a mid-range chipset tuned for efficiency and balanced everyday performance.

Every day use: Apps, messaging, web browsing, and streaming run smoothly. Coupled with 8GB RAM and virtual RAM expansion, background multitasking is acceptable, and general navigation feels snappy on the 144Hz display.

Gaming:

• The Helio G100 Ultimate with Mali GPU will run popular titles (PUBG/Free Fire/CoD Mobile) at medium settings with playable frame rates.
• The 144Hz display is an advantage when games can use it, but many titles will settle at 60–90 FPS for stability.
• Expect thermal throttling in prolonged heavy sessions; mid-range silicon and chassis thermals limit sustained peak performance. Use the phone’s Game Mode or performance mode for consistent scheduling and notifications blocking.

Battery & charging

Battery: 5200mAh — generous capacity for a large display. Charging: 45W wired fast charge (Infinix claims ~60 minutes to full in some marketing), 30W wireless MagCharge, plus reverse wireless/USB charging and bypass charging. Wireless charging at 30W is uncommon in this segment and is a practical differentiator for Note 50.

Real-world expectations:

• Typical day: Heavy media users should clear a full day of mixed use (video, social, browsing). Light to moderate users can often stretch to the second day.
• Top-ups: 45W wired is useful for quick top-ups; use the official charger to reach rated speeds. Wireless 30W is handy for desk/nightstand charging and complements wired charging as a convenience feature.

Battery saving tips:

• Drop refresh to 60/90Hz on long days.
• Use adaptive brightness and turn off always-on display.
• Enable power saving modes for travel days.

Software & features (XOS on Android 15)

OS: Ships with Android 15 with XOS 15 skin. XOS brings additional themes, gesture controls, Game Mode, performance profiles, and some AI camera enhancements (depending on region and model). Infinix typically provides feature sets aimed at young users and power-efficiency tools.

Updates: Infinix advertises up to two major Android upgrades for many models in this generation — check your region and SKU for exact policy or warranty documentation.

Useful software tips:

• Disable unused preinstalled apps (some regions include partner apps).
• Explore Game Mode to block interruptions and boost scheduler allocation.
• Check Settings → Battery for bypass/charging options to preserve battery health.

Who should buy the Infinix Note 50?

1. The media consumer: Wants a large, bright AMOLED screen and a long battery for YouTube, streaming, and social apps. 144Hz + AMOLED = premium media experience without flagship price.
2. The casual photographer/social shooter: Appreciates OIS on the main camera — stable photos and videos for social media without flagship cost.
3. Value-minded gamer: Plays mobile titles casually/competitively at medium settings; 144Hz and efficient SoC provide a good balance if you don’t demand flagship sustained FPS.

Compare vs rivals

Short take: Note 50 competes on display quality, OIS camera, and wireless charging — a combination that’s rare at this price. If wireless charging + stabilized main camera matter, Note 50 stands out. Otherwise, rivals may offer stronger sustained gaming or slightly better camera sensors, Depending on SKU.

Quick comparison

Phone	Display	Camera (main)	Battery	Chipset	Notes
Infinix Note 50	6.78″ AMOLED 144Hz	50MP OIS	5200mAh, 45W wired + 30W wireless	Helio G100 Ultimate	Best: display + OIS + wireless in class.
Infinix Note 40	AMOLED, lower peak/refresh	Older camera	~5000mAh	Helio G99 / similar	Cheaper, previous-gen.
Redmi / POCO (typical rivals)	120Hz LCD/AMOLED	50–108MP (no OIS often)	5000–5100mAh	Snapdragon / Dimensity midrange	Often stronger CPU/GPU for games, but may lack wireless charging + OIS.

Recommendation: If you prioritize media and stabilized photos and want wireless charging, the Note 50 is a compelling pick. If peak raw gaming or maximum sustained GPU throughput is your priority, look at rival Snapdragon/Dimensity devices in the same price bracket.
